I'm bad at updating!

I'm really bad at updating this thing- as I've been reminded by Natalie! Sorry! Haha. Well Anthony is learning at a very rapid pace now! He's been singing, saying animal names and sounds, he knows the color green, he answers every question with "yea", he helps clean up, and he helps me get him dressed. We really haven't been working as hard on things lately, but he's still learning, almost seems like he's learning more now that I stopped pushing him to learn! The other night we were reading one of his books, and on the back there's about 20 different small pictures of animals. So when we're done reading I point at each one and say it's name. I do it pretty quickly too. Then after I've gone through them all twice, I ask him where certain animals are. I said, "Anthony, where's the mouse?"--without him ever learning "mouse" before. He pointed at the mouse. Fabulous!

We also took him to his check up appointment at the Dr, and they are concerned about his size. Apparently he's very short and light for his age. I reminded the doc that both Joe and I are very small, as are our families. The doctor wants to get bloodwork done for Thyroid Disorder. Grrrreat. I'm praying that it's nothing and the doctor is just being cautious, but at the same time my mom's side of the family has a history of thyroid problems. Grr. But my MOM instinct tells me that all is well.

So no pics today...check them out on my myspace page if you'd like---I just don't have the patience to upload them to two different pages! www.myspace.com/karamarieb
